his eyes still fixed upon the girl vaguely
Goodnight"
Miss Alice tripped from the room, possibly
triAe the more light-heartedly that she had
parted from her father in one of his rare mo-
ments OF illogical human weakness. And per-
haps it was well for the poor girl that she
kept this single remembrance of him, when,
I fear, in after years, his methods, his reason.
ing and indeed all he had tried to impress
upon her childhood, had faded from her
memory.
For, when she had left, Mr.. Rightbody fell
again to the examination of his old letters,
This was quite absorbing; so much so, that
he did not notice the footsteps of Mrs. Right
body on the staircase as she passed to her
chamber, nor that she had paused on the
landing to look through the glass half-door
on her husband, as he sat there with the
letters beside him, and the telegram opened
before him. Had she waited moment later,
she would have seen him rise, and walk to
the sofa with disturbed air and slight con-
fusion; so that, on reaching it, he seemed to
hesitate to lie down, although pale and evil
IDENTIFY faint. Had she still waited, she would
have seen him rise again with an agonized
effort, stagger to the table, fumblingly refold
and replace the papers in the cabinet, and
lock it, and, although now but half conscious,
hold the telegram over the gas fame till it
was consumed. For, had she waited until
this moment, she would have flown unhesi-
tatingly to his aid, as, this act completed, he
bell. but ainly. and then fell prone upon the
sofa
But alasi no providential nor accidental
hand was raised &c save him or anticipate the
progress Of this story. And when, half an
hour later, Mrs. Rightbody. a little alarmed,
and more indignant at his violation of the
doctors rules, appeared upon the threshold,
Mr. Rightbody lay upon the sofa dead!
With hustle, with thronging feet, with the
irruption of strangers and hurTying to and
fro, but, more than all, with an impulse and
emotion unknown to the mansion when its
owner was in life, Mrs. Rightbody strove to
call back the vanished life, but in vain. The
highest medical intelligence, called from its
bed at this strange hour, saw only the demon
stration of its theories made year before.
Mr.. Rightbody was dead-without doubt,
without mystery, even as a correct man
should die-logically, and indorsed by the
highest medical authority.

"Out of grub!" ''job!" And she was the

would nearly kill him. She began herself to
feel little frightened, and walked towards
the door.
"One moment, miss"
The young girl hesitated The mans tone
was surly, and yet indicated certain kind of
half-pathetic grievance. Her curiosity got
the better of her prudence, and she turned
back
"This morning." he began hastily, "when
we were coming down the valley, you picked
me up twice"
II picked you up!" repeated the astonished
Alice.
"Yes, contradicted me; that's what /
mean; once when you said those rocks were
volcanic, once when you said the flower YOU
picked was poppy. 1 didn't let on at the
time for it wasn't my say; but all the while

haughtily.
II might have entrapped you before folks.
But only want you to know that I'm right,
and here are the books to show it."
He drew aside the dingy calico curtain, re-
vealed small shelf of bulky books, took
down too large volumes-one of botany, one
of geology-nervously sought his text, and
put them in Alices outstretched hands
Il had no intention" she began, half
proudly, half embarrassedly.
"Am right, miss!" he interrupted
II presume you are, if you say So"
That's all, ma'am. Thank youl"
Before the girl had time to reply he was
gone. When he again returned it was with
her horse, and Mrs. Rightbody and Ryder
were awaiting her. But Miss Alice noticed
that his own horse was missing.
"Are you not going with us?" she asked.
"No, ma'am."
"Oh, indeed"
Miss Alice felt her speech was feeble con-
ventionalism, but it was all she could say.
She, however, did something. Hitherto it
had been her habit to Systematically reject his
assistance in mounting to her seat Now she
awaited him. AS he approached she smiled

HEALING THE WOUNDS.

A Democrats Views of Politics In West
Virginia.
WAYNE COUNTY, W. VA, November
19.-I see that many names are being sug-
gested for Governor. This is probably
right, for now, in the cool season of poll
tics and before personal ambitions have
become too hot, is the best time to judge
the proper a
The first act of nature, either in animal
or vegetable life, is to heal q wound after
it is inflicted. The Democratic party was
badly hurt, almost ~dismembered, last
winter, 10 the election of o United States
Senator.
Mr.. Camden was knocked down by his
own party and held down by them while
the Republicans kicked him and his
friends all over the State. A good mar
was hurt, the choice of the Democrats
was beaten, a good party man was de-.
feated by the outrage and violation OF
party usage, and a citizen o. noble heart
and generous character was sought TO be
overturned in private and public estima-
ton. This is a wound hat will bleed
until it is healed over, not with
Camden, but with his friends. Would
it not be policy then to close up this
breach, to grow q smooth skin over this
sore and have once more a sound body ?
Suppose the Democrats make hr. Camden
Governor Of the State, would it not be a
good thing for the party and for the peo-
pie?
Mr.. Camden, | presume, is not thinking
about this or any other office, for he has
riches and has had hOGOrs, and can much
better do without the party than the party
can do without him.
The man who behaves we'll when sue
cessful, is admirable, but he who behaves
well under defeat and when wrOnged, IS -
noble man. Not a word against his party
nor an utterance of reprOach or revenge
against individuals has ever been heard
from Mr.. Camden he is content with the
decision and has gone his way. Some say
let him 90, let him be quiet, better so.
But let me tell you he is the best factor in
the party and n power in the State.
But aside from his certain election and
the harmony it would bring to the party,
he would make the best Governor that
could be picked out. There is not much
in the gubernatorial office, you
know, unless there is something in
the Governor. Now there is the
biggest kind of a chance for q man to
make a great Governor OF himself aud a
great State of West Virginia. II is a fact
that we are q sort of unknown wilderness,
by which thousands OF home seekers pass
because our advantages are unknown and
our railroad facilities are meager.
A governor who has influence enough to
reach cut and bring us foreign capital
to develop our mines and thereby increase
our wealth and population; TO bring new
railroads, facilitating transportation and
increasing competition, and a man, who
at the same time, has sound political judy
ment and is an honest, genial gentleman,
would make a splendid Governor of West
Virginia. Mr.. Camden is this kind Of 4
man, aud | should be glad to hear some
some expression of opinion rs to making
him the next Governor. DEMOCRAT.

WASHINGTON, November l9.-The gen.
eral belief is that the contest of Mr.. Lucas
for the vacant seat in the Senate, from
West Virginia, is without solid basis. The
first clause of the constitution which re-
lates to the subject would seem not only to
give the Legislature, at an extra session,
the authority to elect a Senator, but 10
make it a duty to choose one. 1t reads:
'If vacancies happen by resignation, or
otherwise during the recess of the Legisla-
ture of any State, the Executive thereof
may make temporary appointments until
the next meeting OF the Legislature, which
shall then ill such vacancies"
Again il provides that 1.-THE times,
places and manner of holding elections for
Senators and Representatives shall be pre-
scribed in each State by the Legislature
thereof; but the Congress may at any time
by law make or alter such regulations ex-
cept as to the places Of choosing Senator's
The sections of the law passed by Con-
greSs in pursuance of this clause are very
clear. They are as follows:
"SEC. Il. Whenever during the session
Of the Legislature of any State a vacancy
occurs in the representation of such State
in the Senate, similar proceedings TO fill
such vacancy shall he had on the second
Tuesday after the Legislature has Orga-
nized, and has notice of such vacancy.

While the tone of the eastern wool mar
kets continues better than q month ago,
dealers have to be satisfied with that. The
improvement in feeling has not resulted IN
any advance in valnes, and the increase IN
amount Of business done Is Irregular.
Some kinds OF wool are in good request, as,
for example, fine delsine and No. l comb
ing. Others rule in buyers favor. Pur-
chasers are somewhat larger than they
have been, apparently on account OF grow
ing consumption, and yet there is no gen.
eral disposition to stock up for the heavy
weight goods that will be manufactured
next spring. The amount OF wool now
stored on the seaboard is believed to be
relatively small. In the country, where
the staple is firmly held, there are, on the
other hand, unusually large supplies.
A satisfactory attendance but only
moderate demand are reported from the
Antwerp sales. English adyices speak OF
large stocks OF old wool m the market
with general dizziness. At Melbourne,
Australian wool suitable for this country
is higher.
No change is apparent in the recently
prevailing conditions at Boston. Manu-
facturers are taking a fair amount OF
stock week by week, but make their pur-
chsses so cautiously and so closely to their
requirements that no advance in prices is
likely to be secured. No small amount OF
Michigan wool is held above the market
by the consignors. Fine Ohio and Penn
s~ylvania heeces are firm, and holders of
territory stock, which has been sold freely,
are generally confident. Current quota
tions are as follows in comparison with last
Veap and the year before:

A PART SAN FOOL.

Unfortunately, Senator FRYE, of Maine,
has been hit upon to express the attitude
of the Senate in the matter Of a possible
treaty settlement of the fisheries question
unfortunately, because there should be
no party division in this matter on the part
of this Government. With such a man
as FRYE as spokesman for the Senate
this is impossible. He has al
ready given expression to his views in the
matter in an interview in the Boston Jour
nal. In this the Senator makes an ALSO
lutte and unqualified fool Of himself and
stupidity exposes the Republican Senate's
policy. His tone of ranting ~partisanship
is surprising. lie blunders forth the fact
thai q policy OF opposition to any settle
ment by the CLEVELAND administration
has been determined upon. The Republi-
can Senate, mind you, will not oppose the
administration on any suggestion Of policy
but simply because it is a Democratic ad-
ministrationl Did not the majority in the
Senate when they elected FRYE as their
spokesman know whatthey weredOing? Did
they not forsee from the known character of
the excitable Senator that he would give
the whole thing away? There are a dozen
Republicans in the Senate who would
have done infinitely better, affecting some
thing in the way of Justification of the at
titude of that body, even if not presenting
a good case, and basing their opposition on
differences OF opinion regarding public
policy rather than on simple antagonism
of the administration right or wrong.
But MI. FRYE is blunt; he isnOt a sOphist;
he says in so many words that the Re
publican Senate wants no settlement Of
the ouestion under this administration.
Why? Because il is Democratic They
prefer to keep up the trouble and wait for
a Republican administration-with JAMES
G. BLAINE.
The Journal interview Invested Of its ex-
pressions of contempt for President CLEvE-
LAND and Secretary BAYARD, which
make up its bulk and which are as
puerile and contemplate As the wrangling
of an angry schOolboy, the statement of
Senator FRYE is that his party does not
'swant q commission to settle the contro-
very that has risen; that Congress re-
iected the Presidents recommendation
10 that effect and chose the method of re
taliationp; that he has no hope that q
treaty can be made with England; that
the only remedy is "a statesman in the
Presidential chair" and that 'that man is
Mr.. BLAINE" who will be nominated
next year "fOr the very purpose Of carrying
New York"
This places the Republicans fthe Senate
in a very serious light before the country.
The business element OF the country, at
least. demand something more than this
partisan wraDgliug at the expense of the
publie welfare. There is nothing in Mr..
FRYE's declarations that can be justified
on the ground of common sense either in
business or politics. No treaty that can
be drafted, says Mr.. Frye, that will
meet with the approval of the Senate.

Executive of the State which any Senator
has been chosen to certify his election
under the seal Of the State to the President
of the Senate Of the United States"
The last quoted section makesit the
duty of the Governor to regularly certify
the result Of such an election to the Presi-
dent ofthe Senate. This the Governor Of
West Virginia has not done, holding that
the Legislature was forbidden by the con-
stitution of West Virginia from doing any
thing at the extra session except to act on
the appropriation bills which it was called
to consider.
The point at issue seems to be whether,
in the matter of eleeting a Senator Of the
Unitsd States the constitution and laws OF
West Virginia are paramount to the con-
stitutiOn and laws of the United States.

In this age of the world considers that re-
taliation can settle anything. 1t has quite
the contrary effect; and were retaliation
employed at the start, conference and ad-
justment by treaty must come at the end
before settlement is reached. The only
effect Of Mr.. FRYE's method would be to
increase the difficulty by srousing harsher
feelings and piling up the claims for dam
ages on both sides.
Will the Senate endorse these statements?
Will it dare to? No party can stand before
an intelligent people and declare that there
shall be no treaty, no adjustment Of differ
ences, no conference, but simply blind and
uncompromisiug retaliation" This is
not nineteenth century craftsmanship. 1t

need to bulldoze any foreign nation if
they could, ard If the fisheries dispute can
be smieably settled to the satisfac-
ton Of both countries that is the
way tp settle it. There are common
sense Republicans in the Senate who do
not believe in FRYE. They know that
the President is acting within the scope of
his official prerogatives in authorizing the
conference at Washington that ifthe out
come Of the conference is treaty the Pres
ident has full powers to negotiate it and
that if such a treaty prove satisfactory to
the country, the Senate, whose only power
is that of approval or rejection, will make
a blunder that will kill the Republican
party beyond all hope of resuscitation if
they refuse to ratify it simply to allow
BLAINE to diplsy his questionable bril-
l~iancy' on the subject.
